New Horse Rider Series | Meet Brandy Introduction

Thursday, September 27, 2018

Hey there everyone!

If you follow me on Instagram, then hopefully you saw some behind the scenes footage of my new series that launches TODAY! First off, I am so thrilled to start this new series. For those of you who do/don't know, I have loved horses my whole life. When I was little I would ask my mom all the time if we could get a horse and she would tell me that it wouldn't fit in the backyard. When I tried to convince her that we had enough land she would tell me the neighborhood wouldn't allow it. As a kid I was so frustrated but as an adult I know she was right. Since anything related to horses was also so expensive, I was never really able to learn how to ride like I always wanted to.

It wasn't until January of this year that I finally started riding. For Christmas, Chandler bought me a month's worth of lessons and since then I've been hooked (shocker) haha! I go out every weekend/chance that I can. Even on days that I don't ride, I just love helping out there. I clean stalls, groom horses, and help with anything else that I can just so I can learn as much about horses as possible. The goal is to have one of my own one day and I'm hoping it's sooner rather than later!

Throughout this new series, I will be sharing what I've learned/am learning about horses and riding, product reviews, and more. In addition to that, I'll also be sharing a ton of information about the barn I ride at: M&M Hunter Jumpers, owned by Michelle Moen! To kick things off, I wanted to introduce you to the horse I ride, Brandy.

Brandy is a 13 year old Quarter Horse and is the beginner school horse at the barn. She's really laid back and her and I actually have a lot in common:

We both can be stubborn at times

We both sweat A LOT

We both have big butts haha

Needless to say, we got along from the start!

I would love to know if there is something specific you would like me to share about horses. Are you curious about a specific product? Let me know in the comments below so I can create content that you would love to read!
